Sorry if this has been answered already, but i couldn't find what i'm looking for via searching.

 

Looking for a cheap case that can hold and maybe slightly cool a 5 drive NAS. I have my NAS built in a cheap generic case right now and the drives are slightly warm for my liking.

 

Looking at spending as little as possible for a case that looks as simple and plain as possible with a place to mount a front fan or 2. Smaller is better, board is a mATX, but small is not necessarily a requirement. 

 

TIA peeps!  :)

This Fractal Design Node 804 has 10 3.5" Bays $70

 

Really that's the best, and cheapest m-atx with enough drives.

Now ATX:

NZXT Source 220 $48---- 8 bays.

 

Just grab a few cheap Arctic cooling fans $7.68 each, and your set. if you want a few fans blowing over them.

 

Apex Vortex with 6 bays for $38 One fan.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.
